Read an interesting recipe and tried it myself. Recipe called for
roasting prime rib at 120°F for 18 hours.
120°F ? Can't you just leave it outside for a few days? ;-)
Not in December... it's only going to be 60°F today... it's
Winter-time ;-)
Our new Dacor will only go down to 135°F, but that's medium rare, so I
gave it a shot (leftovers from 14# :-) ...

Amazingly tender. Recipe said that slow cooking plays on enzymes to
make it melt in your mouth.
(To accommodate family members spread over 400 miles we had our
Christmas "Eve" all-family event last night, so they could return home
for their individual family celebrations.)
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah!
Same to all.
We celebrate both, since our family is a true "melting pot" of
ethnicities, religions AND politics (even some Democrats :-)

rantI noticed some Christmas Cake at the grocery store. Haven't had
really good Xmas cake since the mom of a friend moved away to a
retirement community- she used to turn it out in virtually industrial
quantities for close friends and family. Unfortunately, upon closer
examination, it was actually "Holiday Fruitcake" and not Christmas
Cake. What's next, lighting of a "Holiday Menora"? /rant ;-)
Best regards,

Granddaughter Allison (deceased son Duane's daughter) is visiting from
Rancho Mirage thru the end of the year, so we've been lighting a
candle each evening.
As for this Happy Holidays crap... there is no holiday in the US
called "Happy", but there is one US official holiday called
"Christmas", made an official US holiday by President Grant.
(And I love Fruitcake, but no one else in the family does :-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
